COVID-19 Testing

 COVID-19 Testing Mandate

Consider the following scenario:

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, state Governors took significant steps to protect residents, including the most vulnerable populations, nursing home residents. In Oklahoma, Governor Kevin Stitt issued a policy that required any “staffer” entering a nursing home to produce a negative COVID-19 test result.

Place yourself in the role of a nursing home administrator in this situation, and respond to the following:

  1. What are the gaps in this policy? (Policy is italicized above).
  2. Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not?
  3. Because this is mandated by the state, your facility must comply. Briefly explain how you will ensure compliance while maintaining the integrity of evidence-based practice.
  4. How is the relationship between science and politics investigated?
  5. Review an evidence-based article that speaks on how scientific research has been used for political gain or advancement of policy creation and implementation.

There should be two main sections, one for each bullet below. Separate each section with a clear heading.

Note

Support  ideas with at least three (3) sources using citations. APA citations.

consumer decision-making

Consumers behavior

Part A

In the cognitive model of decision-making, which stems from rational perspective, the consumer carefully goes through a series of steps and integrates as much information as possible to arrive at a satisfactory decision (learned in Chapter 9, from the course text).

Describe the stages in consumer decision-making. Then, discuss how each of the following items impacts the process of decision-making. For each item, support your discussion with a personal example of purchasing a product or service:

  • Learning and attitudes
  • Motivation and values
  • The power of self, lifestyle, and personality

Part B

Consumers experience a range of affective responses to products and marketing messages. Affective responses can be mild (evaluations), moderate (moods), or strong (emotions). Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions. Refer to the article The Psychology of Happiness and address the following:

  • Identify the relationship between happiness and the experience of meaning versus materials.
  • Explain whether money brings happiness, when it brings happiness, and to what degree.
  • Discuss two strategies that can increase our happiness.

Part C

Our behavior as consumers is also influenced by our culture and the subcultures we belong to. Refer back to the Marketing Pitfalls Section 14.6 (Chapter 14) when addressing the following:

  • Identify a similar example of an unsuccessful market entry by a global product. Include a copy of the ad or example in your paper.
  • Describe the reason why it failed as related to consumer behavior, culture, and subculture.
  • Explain how you would more effectively market the global product in that country. Refer to at least two influential elements in consumer decision-making (learning, memory, perception, motivation, attitudes, lifestyle and values, groups, family, social media, income and social class) that would help you market that global product in that region more successfully.
